Two Tamara Holder posts, one after the other today. Tommy R. Bennett, known as ‘Aruba Tommy’ on Chicago radio, was an aide to the, uh, Revvvvrend Jesse Jackson. Aruba Tommy is a gay man. Attorney Thomas V. Leverso has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Tommy Bennett alleging he was used to escort wormen to the, uh, Revvvvrend Jackson’s motel hotel room for “sexual intercourse.” On one occasion, the hotel was the Hilton at Chicago O’Hare airport. The lawsuit alleges that Jackson visited Holder’s apartment while Bennett waited in a car outside, was known as his “mistress” and Jackson’s family was told about Tamara by another “mistress” via a letter. According to Tommy, Fox News analyst and all-around ditsy Dem, Tamara Holder was among those women. Tommy says he was forced to clean up the mess “after” the hotel meet-ups.

Bennett worked for Jackson for more than two years and was known as “Aruba Tommy” on local Chicago radio station WVON. The lawsuit alleges that Bennett was subjected to “humiliating tasks” because he was a homosexual, such as “escorting women to his [Jackson’s] hotel room” and then being ordered to clean up after Jackson had sexual intercourse with them.
One of those women, the suit claims, was Tamara Holder, a pundit and criminal defense attorney who claims she “single-handedly” founded what she calls “a pro bono legal clinic at Rev. Jesse L. Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition.” A self-described Democrat, she appears regularly on Fox News to defend the Obama Administration and other prominent Democrats. “Because of the Democratic Party’s deep Chicago roots, Tamara has worked closely with some of the City’s most prominent leaders,” her website says.

You can guess by now that gay man Tommy Bennett was fired by the Jackson organization, thus the lawsuit. Bennett claims discrimination by the Black Revvvvrend Jesse Jackson because he is gay.
